TRICK ERY.

The manner in which Mr.. w. Harris, Of
this place, was defeated for Minute Clerk Of
the Assembly was an outrageous piece Of
business. Mr.. Harris went to Carson and
made fair, square fight for the place, and
his enemies were out in full force, leaving
no stone unturned to beat him; yet in the
face Of everything he triumphed and was
elected in caucus. But in the election in
open Assembly, the next day, the members
balloted and elected another man. Such
action was contrary to all political practice,
violation Of pledge and slap in the face
to the representatives of Lyon-if, indeed,
their hands were clear of the perfdy. But
as they made no protest it would look as if
they, too, were besmirched. This leaves
Lyon, the banner Republican county in the
State, without single attache in the lower
house, and none but Mugwumps left to be
rewarded.

sHoRr LABOR HOURS THE BEST.

Notwithstanding knowledge is now SO
widespread that the mechanical advantages
possessed by one nation in Chrlstendom are
available to all its competitors, still one
nation will continue to be superior to another
in proportion as its men and its machinery
are superior, Meanwhile, the trades in
which the inferiorty Of any particular nation
is most marked are not those in which wages
are lowest, hours OF labor greater, machinery
the cheapest, aud the general condition OF
particular trade the most beggarly. This
theory Of labor and production was clearly
illustrated a short time since in paper
published by Mr. S. Smith, one of the mem
bers OF the British technical commission. lie
had visited one Of the largest cotton factories
in France. It was full Of English machin-
cry, running fourteen hours day, each man
working twelve. Thus, the wages were low
and the conditions of cheap production favor
able, yet the proprietor claimed that either
wages must be lowered or import duties
raised, as it was impossible to compete even
in France with English cotton yarns. Sub
seauently Mr.. Smith was conducted through
one of the newest factories in Oldham,
England. Here he found economy in pro-
duction carried to its utmost limit; every.
thing was the reverse Of cheap; the mill
building, engine room and the majestic en-
gines were handsome tic the verge of extrav-
agance; the machinery was OF the newest
and most costly; above all, the operatives
were receiving fully 50 per cent higher wa.
ges than those in the French factory, while
the hours Of labor were fifty-six and a hall
for the English against eighty-three week
for the French operatives. Yet it was in
this palatial factory-all but lavish in its
expenditures--that the cheapest cotton yarn
in the world was being produced; SO cheap,
indeed, that Mr. Smith says he found such
factories underselling the French in their
own country, with all their advantages in
hours, wages and protection thrown in. Now,
when it is understood that England is a par
adise for workingmen compared with any
continental European country, and that its
hours of labor are greatly less, is it not Ger.
tain that it is skill, knowledge and strength
that tell in the competitive race, and no,

The Times Washington special of Jan.
uary sd says: Whatever danger there was
some time ago that the treasury supply Of
gold would give out and the government
would be compelled to pay out silver for
bond redemption, seems now to be remote
and growing more SO. The gold owned by
Government now amount to sI7o,oI2,sI3, a
larger sum theu the Government has owned
previously since the resumption of specie
payments, with the exception of the single
month Of November, 1881. The stock of
gold has been growing continuously since Ju-
ly last in spite of the large redemption of
bonds. The increase in the stock Of gold for
December was trife less than 1000, DOC.
and for the half fiscal year little more than
$I4, 200. 900. AT the same time the stock of
silver dollars, which recently threatened to
absorb everything in the Treasury, has been
for some months steadily falling off, though
coinage goes on without interruption.

The Cosmopolitan.

The January number Of the Cosmopolitan
contains a remarkably bright and interesting
series of articles. Lovers Of flrst.class fic-
ton should not fail to read "Signor 10, the
third and fourth chapters Of which are pub
Iished in this number. This story was writ
ten by Salvatore Farina, the great Italian
novelist, and is the most remarkable and
fascinating Of his works For wit, humor,
pathos, for insight into human nature, it is
without an equal in any language. Mr..
Frank &. Carpenters article on "The Real
Martha Washington" presents new, inter
esting and unconventional view Of the wife
OF the first President. 1t is certain to arouse
much controversy. An illustrated article
entitled "From Beirut to Baalbec" by the
Rev. L. B. Plat, is lively and humorous
description Of trip on horseback between
these famous cities. The scenes and customs
he describes are very curious and amusing.
No one should fail to read Mr.. Wn. NJ.

in SPAIN" which is filled with deiciously
humorous character and nature sketches OBJ
tanned during a residence in the Iberian pen

Strange Matrimonial Complications

Once apon iinie young fellow stood on
The pavement brushing of his back and wor.
derug what size the old mans boots were,
and gave uiierance to g saying which has
ouJlived him many years, namely, that The
course of true love never runs smooth" 1t
was verii, in the following story, which Is
introduced by referring the reader TO the
uoiice OF the marriage of Cary Cox 10 Miss
Jessie Helm, both of this city, at the Elisco-
pal church on Wednesday night.
The groom is a young man we'll known
hstr, and the bride the handsome daue h ter
Of Fresno'z westbes! pioneer, William
Helm Several years ago, back in one OF
TIE Eastern States, Cary Cox met, loved
and married "a maiden fsir to see," but as
subsequent events proved, extremely diff
cult TO i've with in peace. TlrlDg OF con-
tinual discord and strife Cox fled TO Caliior
mia, and coming to Fresno, bid his wherea
bouts from his wife and all bis friends.
Here be obtained employment with Mr..
Helm, as the superintendent or manager of
one of his ranches, and here be met and
loved, earnestly and truly, MIR. Helms
daug hter, Jessie.
II is not known positively to the writer
whether Cox told Miss Helm of his former
matrimonial experience or not; some say
that he did not and others say that he did,
but be claimed to be divorced. In either
event the result was tho same, for he
married Miss Helm. Shortly after his
second marriage he was informed that
wife No. L, from whom he had not
been legally separated, was preparing
TO make trouble end prosecute him as s.
bigamist. He fled to Honolulu, leaving his
second wife, a bride of but q few weeks
broken hearted. In Honolulu he opened
up correspondence with friends in his East
ern home aud from them learned that wife
No l had obtained divorce the decree be.
ing granted just eleven days before his mar
riage to Miss Helm, but not knowing his
whereabouts he vas not notified of the fact.
With light heart he closed up his affairs in
Honolulu and prepared to return to his
California bride with the welcome intelli-
gence that she was legally his wife and that
he was not bigamist.
Arriving here he found another aud the
most bitter disappointment of all awaiting
him. Being convinced that her husband
mad left her for good, Mrs. Cox No 2, acting
upon the advice of her best friends had OBJ
taned divorce and resumed her maiden
name Cox Was indeed free man but very
much against his will, and, nothing daunted.
be set 10 work to win for second time the
affections of the girl he loved, and succeed
ed Certainly the course of Mr.. and Mrs.
Cox's msrried life should run smooth, and
they start from the hGrbor a second time
with THAR papers all right 1t was runlored
that Mr.. Helm opposed the marriage, and
said be would disinherit bis daughter if she
again married Cox, but this is probably g
rumor and nothing more. The story, to be
complete, needs the BLESS you, my child
